Experience Machu Picchu And Galapagos Combined Tours

By Olivia Cross


Deciding which exciting location should be the pick for the annual vacation can be a most difficult situation. There are literally thousands of wonderful adventures from which one may make their selection. With so many options and hardly enough time to do them all, taking one of the incredible Machu Picchu and Galapagos combined tours could be the way to tackle two stops in one trip.

Travel agents have several packages available that feature these two magnificent locations rolled into one glorious getaway. They may include travel accommodations via plane, train, boat or automobile as well as reservations at one of the great hotels, inns or houses in these areas. Depending on one's budget and preferences, nearly all arrangements can be handled in advance.

A variety of other things may be added to the package if desired. These additional features include items such as guided site seeing jaunts around the islands or through the ruins, dining reservations, tickets to special shows, train, boat or bus rides to surrounding areas as well as many other fun activities. The individual and the agent can discuss budget and personal preferences to generate the most perfect vacation.

The ruins, set high upon the Andean Mountains of Peru, are listed as one of the wonders of the world, being an ancient Inca city made in the traditional style with walls of polished, dry stones. It had been virtually untouched by modern man until the early 1900's. Thanks to the protection of multiple historical preservation groups, it has remained in near perfect condition.

While exploring the structures of the site, visitors are virtually transported back to the 15th century. The city is basically divided into three sections used respectively for religious, urban and agricultural purposes for the most efficient use of natural resources. Standing at the temple at the hill's apex, the viewer may behold the breathtaking beauty of the valley sprawling below.

While the ruins are calm and peaceful, the archipelago of 19 islands and several dozen islets sits over the equator and is home to a unique evolutionary experience. No other place on the planet has the same odd combination of conflicting climates, terrains, plants and animal life. Many who are looking upon it for the first time find it hard to believe what they are seeing.

As it is set directly above the Nazca Plate, the most active volcanic region in the world, the land masses are composed almost entirely of hardened lava rock. Guests may explore caves, coral reefs, submerged craters, cliffs and impressive rock towers all dotted with surprisingly lush foliage. The diverse collection of animals include marine iguanas, giant tortoises, sea lions, whales, stingrays, dolphins, sea turtles, penguins and hundreds of bird species.

Both of these South American locations will present the adventurous traveler with incredible experiences to be remembered for a lifetime. They can glimpse the past, witness evolution in motion and see lands unspoiled by modern structures and technology. This type of vacation is truly a chance to get away from the trappings of every day life and immerse oneself in the exquisiteness of nature.
